Clearwater RCMP requested assistance from the Southeast District Emergency Response Team (SED ERT) after spotting a U-Haul driven by a prohibited driver. The driver led police on a high-speed chase before abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot.
Clearwater RCMP called in support from the Southeast District Emergency Response Team late Monday night at approximately midnight on April 8 when a U-Haul was spotted at a residence that has been under surveillance on Jenkins Road in Clearwater by an on duty officer. The rental vehicle was driven by a prohibited driver known to police.
The U-Haul turned around at Little Fort according to Simpson realizing police were behind him speeding up Highway 24 with RCMP in pursuit turning onto Lemieux Creek Road. Simpson says this is typical behaviour of this repeat offender and not the first time police have tracked him down like this. Because a firearm was involved critical incident command was immediately notified activating ERT response along with two dog teams, drones and a Tactical Armoured Vehicle to engage in a search for the suspect.
